Family Photography
Candid, real-life family photography in the Main Line + Philadelphia area.
Sessions are relaxed, natural, and focused on connection—no stiff poses, just honest moments you’ll want to remember.
My Approach
I spent 15 years working in corporate settings — the photographs were precise, staged, and not very personal. After having kids, I started taking photos of them at home and realized those images were the ones that mattered most to me. After all the lifestyle shoots I’ve traveled for and campaigns shot in-studio, the images of my kids in those little moments are the ones I'm most proud of. That’s what led me into family photography — documenting the kind of everyday connection that deserves to be remembered.
When families step in front of my camera, I want you to feel at ease. I’m not here to make you pose stiffly or smile on command — I’m here to capture connection, laughter, and the real dynamic of your family.
We’ll play, move, and explore, so your photos feel natural and full of life. And yes — we’ll also make sure to get that classic ‘holiday card shot’ that grandparents will love.
At-home sessions
These sessions are all about real life. I come to your home and document your family as you are: playing, laughing, and living in the moments that make your life unique. The result is a collection of authentic, everyday memories you’ll want to look back on.

I’m Daniela—
I grew up in the woods of New Hampshire and have always been happiest outside. I’ve road-tripped across the country five times, visited more national parks than I can count, and for one very fun year we moved our kids just down the street from Joshua Tree National Park in the California desert. I watched my kids explore giant boulders and fell in love with documenting them. These days, I’m back in the Philadelphia suburbs with my husband, two boys and Great Dane — where we spend as much time as we can exploring together.
